The formula of Benjamin Lovell Shoes (618 S. Exeter St.; 410-244-5359; www.benjaminlovell.com) is fashion minus pain. "Our whole business is based on style with comfort," says store manager Josh Love from the Harbor East location, which opened in 2006 (there are five other locations in Pennsylvania and New Jersey). The top sellers in the women's department include La Canadienne boots, which are handmade in Montreal. Benjamin Lovell is also one of a handful in the country to sell limited edition Timberlands, which Love says are favorites among male customers. The store only reorders a style if it sells well, so the merchandise is constantly being refreshed. Benjamin Lovell also dabbles in philanthropy: The company participated in the Soles4Souls program, collecting shoe donations in exchange for $10 off a pair of shoes. The Harbor East location alone collected two hundred pairs for people in need.
